A funny fact to know the infamous AYBABTU from Zerowing game 2101translates to 64 in base 3.Base64 is a group of similar encoding schemes that represent binarydata in an ASCII string .... Electronic Mail (PEM) protocol, proposedby RFC 989 in 1987.

Zerowing itself was presented in the 1989 although Toaplan originatedin the mid 80's.
